Penryn College's Year 7 and 8 students were treated to an inspiring, storytelling visit from three BBC employees earlier this month, as part of the BBC's 'Share Your Story' tour.

The Share Your Story tour allows BBC ambassadors the chance to visit schools across the UK and share their journeys, setbacks, and successes, with an aim of improving students' wellbeing and storytelling skills.

Indeed, BBC Radio Cornwall presenter, Anoushka Williams, and BBC South West Home Affairs Correspondent, Ben Woolvin, spoke to Penryn College's pupils about the challenges they have overcome

in their personal lives, careers, and more, whilst BBC Radio 1 and BBC Sport presenter, Abbie McCarthy, hosted the event. Students were then given the opportunity to find out more about the ambassadors' stories and careers, and came up with a number of interesting questions. That was before they had the chance to use their imaginations and tell their own stories using the theme of 'Stormzy and Sir David Attenborough being stuck on a desert island together'. The BBC's Share Your Story tour will continue in schools throughout the year.
